We enjoy tracking the sun too but the direction it takes this time of the year isn’t as pleasant as in the spring.
54 this morning, warmer due to some rain that finally fell last night. Laying in bed I could hear it and it put a smile on my face. A break today and more rain tonight and tomorrow. Hope so, I plan to do some mowing of non irrigated areas on Thursday. I wait for rain so it’s not so dusty.
Today the rain break works wonderfully for me as I plan to hit the golf course.

51', cloudy and not raining this morning. 65' and more rain expected this afternoon and at least through Thursday. We've gotten enough rain now that fall burn season should open up tomorrow (Oct 1 - Dec 15).

Same here, it's moving toward a higher hillside so we get even less sunlight. By Winter solstice we only get a few hours of direct sunshine.

once again today's weather word has been rain .... not heavy but certainly steady .... 71 at 1PM with it only anticipated to rise another degree later this afternoon .... the radar shows clouds are moving out and the forecast doesn't call for any more rain until this time next week .... on the positive side, this front that is pulling out seems to be bringing a streak of 70 degree days with it

Finished getting the firewood in. In the last 9 minutes of moving the remaining pieces of wood they got very wet. We'll likely get a few warm October days, so those last arm loads will dry out by the time the heating season starts.

Fair, 61°F, Humidity 100%
Wind Speed Calm
Barometer 30.14 in
Dewpoint 61°F
Visibility 10.00 mi
Mostly sunny, with a high near 82.
Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph.
Another bonus Summer day in the Fall. I'm taking full advantage and getting
things done while it's still warm. I'll wash more windows today and work on
getting the tractor snow blower ready.
Then Gun Club and beer and wings after.

49 and what looks like to be a sunny day, at least to start. Possible scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. We received a little bit of rain again last night. The concrete is dry now so it wasn’t much but we’ll take every drop we can get. Stats for September is another month with below average rain. Only month in 2025 that was above or even on average was February.
The extended forecast is for several days of sunshine with lows in the upper 30’s and high’s in the 60’s. We thinking about heading up the the property for 4-5 days and enjoying some wonderful fall weather. With the fire I’m sure we will not be able to take the UTV up on the timber company land. But I have lots of maintenance to do so that could keep me busy but Mrs hatchdog may get bored. We’ll see.

Mags, that’s an impressive stack of good looking firewood. I’m
